Did You Receive a Psychiatric Evaluation at HLA?
RobertBruce:
During my time Arnold never had much day to day interaction with the inmates.
Mike and Meredith however did to a somewhat greater degree. Those two represent all that is sick about that place. I would be very much interested to hear what the circumstances were surronding their leaving.

--- Quote ---Subject: HLA Psychiatric Services Letter
Dear Parents,
It was with regret that we were informed by Dr Reddick, psychiatrist, that she will no longer be seeing HLA students here on campus. She is sending a letter of explanation to parents of her current patients. Dr Reddick has indicated that she will see students in her office in Roswell. HLA will transport students to her office and bill parents the transportation fees. You should contact her directly to arrange continued service with her.
In anticipation of this change, HLA has been researching alternative psychiatric services for students. Dr. Martha Morrison, M.D. has agreed to see HLA students in her office in Cumming Georgia. Dr Morrison is a child and adolescent psychiatrist with special training in Addictionology. She obtained her BA in Psychology from the University of Arkansas and her MD degree from University of Arkansas College of Medicine. She completed her Senior Residency at Emory University in Atlanta.
You may contact her office directly at (404) 296-0391 to discuss and arrange service. As stated, HLA will transport students to appointments at her office and bill the transportation fees.
If you have questions, you may contact Clay Erickson here at the school.

Exactly what do kids actually go to HLA for? NO licensed counselors, NO licensed teachers, NO nurse on campus, NO psychiatrist on campus.
Academics: terrible.
Healthcare: worse.
Psychiatric Care: worst.
Why aren't qualified professional people on staff?
What is it that they are selling besides a "bill of goods"?

Heads up parents. DJ is what we would nonjudgmentally call an "ex-employee" of HLA. Take his "sour grapes" with a grain of salt.
Point to consider: if you read these threads, you'd think HLA were about to go under. The facts say otherwise: they're full to capacity, there's a wait list for entry even at the high cost.
How do you square the facts: is the school in as much trouble as the hyperbole here suggests, are all the parents and Ed Cons who investigate multiple programs being conned so effectively into sending kids in these large numbers to such a terrible place?
I just don't buy it. My explanation is that some disgruntled employees and a couple of parents and kids who did not do well there are hysterical with anger about their own bad luck. So if HLA can't get a building variance, oh God, it's a catastrophe, the school is going under. Or oh the chapel isn't built, the school is going under. Or, some administrator left, it must be a plot, it'll be all over soon.
And on and on and on. And meanwhile the school is full and operating. Because drama and battle is all in the minds of DJ and the other true believers here. Toss them a little compassion and go on with important job doing your best for your kids, families and selves. Which may well include a TBS like HLA.
